Gilmore Onsted.

LAWRENCE, Mass, July 23.-The
Very Rev. G. R. McEvery has been
elected provincial of the Augustinian
order in the United States, to succeed
Rev. John p. Gilmore, who has been
deposed by Rome. The affair is the
result of the failure of the Augustinian
bank in this city in 1885, Father Gill
more was then pastor of st. Mary
church when $50 900 deposited by par
ishoners in the priests bank was lost.
McEvery was elected provincial in
1882, and during his four years resi-
dence here devoted himself to the task
of Hquidating the enormous debt. He
was candidate for reelection, but
Father Gilmore was elected by major
ity of one vote. Gilmore voted for
himself. Charges of dishonesty, made
by the minority, were sent to Rome,
ending in Father Gilmore's deposition
and the induction of Rev. McEvery
into office,

A BIackhead Cure.

Blackhead is generally supposed to
be a kind of skin worm, but this is
a false idea. The truth IS simply this:
The skin, either from the lack of
cleanliness or activity, or both, has
failed to remove the waste materials
from the pores, and the blackhead is
formed from dirt adhering to the oily
substance of the gland. was re-

The CattIe Tratl

ST. LOUIS, July 2S.-Telegrams from
Dallas and San Antonio discredit the
report that the Texas cattle trail has
been abandoned and that so 900 head of
cattle on their way to Wyoming were
yesterday turned back at the Arkansas
river. Col. Simpson, who was reported
as having agents at the alleged cattle
growers meeting at Denver, says his
company was not represented there
and that all cattle he had sent over the
trail this summer are now in Wyoming.
He says it is probably true that there
is little demand for Texas cattle in
Wyoming, but this will not cause a
heavy loss or probable failure. Major
Hillard thought the report was in
tended to alarm Texas cattlemen. He
thought trail cattle were finding slow
sale, but there was plenty of grass in
the Indian Territory and no necessity
to turn herds back. From other quar-
tiers it was generally recognized that
the old days of the trail is over and the
only salvation is to establish packing
houses in Texas,

PrenarineOliYe ON.

The olives are placed between two
mill-stones and ground into a paste,
stones and all. This paste is put in jute
bags, which are piled up in an ordinary
press and subjected to pressure
furnished by a screw. The oil oozes
through the bags, and is caught in
pans or vessels, and then bottled. The
most remarkable feature of the pro-
cess is that some four or five different
qualities are obtained from one lot of
olives. This is explained by the fact
that the oil oozing out at first is the
result of slight pressure, consequently
is sweeter and lacks the ranker flavor
! of the second, third, and fourth grades,
which partake more or less of the taste
of the olive stones. The last grade Is
frequently SO rank that it cannot be
used for eating purposes, but instead
is used as the. basic matter in the
manufacture of soap, etc. The residue
or paste left after the oil has been ex'
tracted undergoes chemical treatment

NEW YORK, July 23.-The tragic

body had not been found. There were
three in the party, Dixon and Ryan in
one small boat, and man named
Smith in another. They were fishing
about two miles from the Staten Island
shore, when suddenly squall arose,
followed by rain and lightning. Smith

The body of Mr.. Dixon was recovered

The Rock leland Route,

ST. LOUIS, July ga local paper
says: The Chicago and Rock Island
railroad recently sent out a surveying
party through the mountains of Ne
vada and California, for the purpose of
discovering practicable route between
the Central Pacific and the Atlantic s.
Pacific. This party returned short
time ago and reported route begin
ming some distance from Fl. Wingate,
in New Mexico, crossing the Colorado
river some distance above Grand Can
on, and passing through Phoebe, Typo
and Owens counties, crossing the Ser
ras through Kings pass, emerging in
the vicinity of Future lake, California,
and following the San Joachim valley to
the coast. The line lies through low
pass, where little grading will be nee
esSary. Should this route be adopted
the great mineral regions of Phoebe
county will be rendered available. The
mining camps of this region are full of
ore worth from $40 to $50 ton, but
now almost worthless because of the
heavy cost of transportation.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 23.-The
searches and seizures under the pro-
hibitory law during the past few days
have created only temporary panic
among the Rhode Island liquor dealers.
The prohibitOry law, as amended, gives
the chief of the state police virtually
autocratic powers. He and his depu
ties can search, seize, arrest and i'm
prison as they may please. Suspicion,
of the reasonableness of which they are
the judges, is sufficient to justify, I'M
der the law, forcible entry into pri-
vate house. The police might as well
WATERFALL as to endeavor to stop the
free sale of liquor in Providence. There
are more places selling than under the
license and this is because the people
want liquor and will have it, however
stringent the enactments against it.

IL is therefore singular that those afflicted
with this fearful disease should not make IL
the object OF their lives to rid themselves of IL.
Deceptive remedies concOcted by Ignorant
pretenders to medical knowledge have weak

sufferers in all advertised remedies, They be-

torture themselves with doubtful palliativeS.
But this will never do. CatarTh must be met

suHed DANGEROUS symptoms. The bones and
cartilage of the nose, the organs of hearing, of

NEW YORK, July Or. G. Dun s.
Co., in their weekly review of trade say
with business progressing well through
out the country the crop prospect is ex-
cellent, iron production larger than at
any previous period, and money in
abundant supply. Wall Street is dis
turbed because a dream it has been
chasing for months suddenly fades
away, and Mr.. Garrett announces the
failure of Mr.. Ives to buy the Baltimore
s. Ohio. The incident illustrates the
weakness of Wall Street as barom-
street has been discounting the
benifcent results of this expected
settlement, and all sorts of purchases,
loans, commitments and calculations
have been based thereon; but for these
the retention of the Baltimore s. Ohio
by its old owners would disturb nobody;
but now litigation involving the value
of many properties, direct and indirect,
had been commenced and may over
cloud with uncertainty for some time

INDIANAPOLIS, July 22.-The Fed
eral court room was crowded to-day by
people anxious to listen to the testi-
mony in the tally sheet case. The gen.
eral tendency of the testimony corrob-
GRATED to some extent the evidence
given yesterday by Perkins. the man
who turned states evidence. During
the day Mr.. Hurry, an expert chemist,
was called. He inspected the mutilated
tally sheets and gave as his opinion
that the figures had been erased by
method by which this could be
done and gave practical illustration
in the presence of the court and jury.
The statement III the dispatches last
night that $14 900 was raised for the
purpose of cOrrupting the first grand
jury that investigated these frauds was
not correct. The sum collected for
that purpose was 81 400.

cost only about S1.003, and they were

So small a change in prices after an ex-
pansion of S65, 000, 900 during the year
in circulation is surprising.
Cotton is tending downward, with
liquidation following several important
failures, but goods are comparatively
scarce and prices well maintained.
WOOlens are as usual unsatisfactory
foreign competition at low prices COM

Some kinds of iron and steel look

of Bessemer iron at about $50 is re-

below current quotations.
Reports from all parts Of the country
are uniformly favorable as to the state
of trade for the season, and collections
are reported good at all points save
